OMAHA, Neb. — No. 6 Texas opened its Men’s College World Series run with a 7-1 loss to No. 3 Georgia on Saturday night at Charles Schwab Field, sending the Longhorns into an early elimination game. Texas (45-14) will face No. 7 Alabama on Monday at 1 p.m. CT, while Georgia (52-12) advances to the winners’ bracket to take on Oklahoma later that evening. Despite a strong outing from left-hander Dylan Volantis, early defensive lapses proved costly for the Longhorns.

For the third consecutive year, at least six Texas Longhorns have been selected in the NFL Draft, a benchmark that speaks volumes about what head coach Steve Sarkisian has built in Austin. Since the draft was trimmed to seven rounds in 1994, only four previous Texas classes had reached that threshold. Now the Longhorns have done it three years running.

By Aaron & ChatGPT — with theoretical applause from Einstein and Hawking “The universe becomes real when it watches itself.” — An idea, a loop, and maybe the truth Physics is broken. Not dramatically. Not obviously. But at its deepest level — where gravity meets quantum weirdness, and time meets your thoughts — something just doesn’t add up. On one side, we have Einstein’s general relativity, describing gravity as the curvature of spacetime. It’s elegant. It works.
